Down to the last hole...still tied

That was quite a putt by Spieth. I thought it had lipped out. Dustin has a tough shot out of that heavy bluegrass rough ... hard to get out of, let alone hit the green.

 

[RocketDawg]

So Spieth follows from a perfect lie with a poor shot and lets Dustin right back in the game.

He almost hit a "worm burner" never got over 5` off the ground..got lucky

 

[RocketDawg]

Yep. Kinda looked like one of my shots.

Great putt from off the green for Spieth, and a great putt to stay tied by Dustin. Going to extra holes. Can't believe Spieth blew a 5 stroke lead though.

Now on to a playoff....great putt by Johnson

 

[RocketDawg]

The aerial view shows just how tough #18 is. Lots of water on the left side and narrow fairway, at least at my driving distance.

That tee shot by Johnson was incredible

I don't see many divots where he ended up LOL

 

[RocketDawg]

487 yard hole. I assume distance is measured down the center of the fairway, and he cut the dogleg, but essentially had a 400 yard drive.

Great approach by Johnson. Going to take another miracle putt by Spieth to take it to another hole.

 

[RocketDawg]

Quite a comeback win by Johnson. Spieth shoulda used one more club on that par 3.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Great win by Johnson. I expect to see more battles between these two in the future.

The new young golfers have really re-energized the sport.

I like Spieth the most, dang I really like Johnson and the others as well. As long as none of these new guys pulls a "Tiger" in their personal life, we should be able to enjoy quality golf for quite a while.

They showed a lot of sportsmanship towards each other...seem to be friends
